Jefferson Nickel Possible Error. New Coin Roll Hunter. Need Opinions.

Hey all,

So I've finally worked up the courage to walk into my local bank, look the teller straight in the eye and say "Can I get some change? Like, a lot of change..."
And I'm having a great time doing it. I grew up a young numismatist thanks to my late grandmother getting me into the hobby. Years have gone by, I have the money to coin roll hunt, and a ton of old knowledge about things to look for, so here I am.

I started with Lincoln Cents, had some luck. But yesterday I got my first $100 box of Nickels. No war nickels, no 1950 D... But I did come across something rather odd.

A nickel which I can not make out a date, as the entire obverse is a weird "straight line spiral pattern" except for a small section near the middle. I can't seem to find any other examples like this online. So...

What do you think? Did I luck out and find an awesome mint error? Or did someone do something stupid to it after it left the mint? Opinions are very welcomed. Thank you!
